The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) in Mpumalanga is currently checking out the Fernie 2 Group Hall in Mpuluzi to render providers into the community.
SASSA are going to be rendering services including new social grant applications, change of payment method, consumer care enquiries, as well as the Social Relief of Distress (SRD) COVID-19 grant enquiries.
In a statement, the agency said it's alarmed with regard to the superior number of people depending on social grants for survival.
“The intention on the Integrated Registration Outreach Programme [ICROP] is to reach-out into a substantial quantity of clients/beneficiaries to access SASSA services.
“That is due to lack of infrastructure at Fernie and there is no totally functional office focused on service the SRD area every day. The services stage designed for intervention activities a higher inflow of probable beneficiaries, which makes it challenging with the Workplace to attend to all people who check out a service point.
“In this reach-out programme, SASSA will mobilise a lot more means to permit the servicing of all customers and enhance access to Social Assistance products and services,” the agency said.
